I was told the vitamin E capsules are not the same as the vitamin E sold for bath products & cosmetics and that it would go rancid fairly quick. Has anyone else run into similar information?

try vitamine E anti-oxidant blend. Its the brown one.

hmmm i've tried that with no luck but maybe i'll go bug them again. :undecided

How do you find out about fairs and Festivals that you can sell at?

I am on Event lister but i only get US listings which is nice but totally unhelpful.

Please help...

www.brambleberry.com has something very similar i believe.

i can't get the link to work for some weird reason but that is the website.

hmmm too bad on needin g to get a 1000, those are fabulous.

edit to add: I can't find your coop i went back 100 days. how odd.

where did you get the pouches they are fabulous?

Yeah, I see it. Posted at 9:18 today. Woohoo!

Thanks.

you are welcome

I hope my post didn't sound rude, that wasn't my intention.

Maybe if she ever shares her tips you will.

its at the top of the page made into a sticky now. I found it, did you?

from what i recall Hyattville has a population of 10 or 20 people. ( i will ask her to make sure).

thanks again for all your help.

thanks again. I really love the idea, would a canning jar work?

Since it's a summer show I'd focus on light products, and maybe develope a sunburn product. The body parfaits for example 1 layer lotion, 1 layer colored aloe vera gel? Maybe make some champagin or wine glass candles if your interested in that. There are some wine fos out there. I think the gel candles in champaign glasses are pretty, even if it were just for your display.

People tend to take showers more so than baths in summertime, so I'd take more shower gel, and less bubblebath. They shave more often, so shaving products are great. They tend to want light lotions, and stear away from heavy creams and body butters. So I'd personally make and take along my products based on this. Not that I wouldn't take any "heavier" products, just less, and take more lighter products. HTH

you rock! :highfive: THank you so very much for the advice. Unfortunately i don't do candles right now but i am interested in the body parfaits. How would I package the parfaits?

interesting idea, thanks candleman:)

thanks for the reply, Tara i appreciate the gesture. :highfive:

Ok i am a bit nervous but at least i have till July to prepare for it. I have been used to only doing craft fairs in the winter for christmas.

Anyway i have been invited to have a booth at a fair at a wine company, apparently last year there was an attendence of 1500 people the planner expects a larger audience this year. Vendor fee is a measly $40.00 so i am very excited.

SHe said she was very impressed by my products when she saw them last year at a craft show, and wanted to make sure i was included.

Any suggestions on how much product i should bring would be greatly appreciated.

Currently i make:

Shampoo

Conditioner

Bubble bath

Bath & Shower Gel

Moisturizing cream

mud mask

deep sea clay scrub/mask

shaving soap

shaving creme

whipped butter scrub

I am also going to be practicing my bath bombs and i would love to include Bunny's bath melts.

LOL! No there's not too many. I'm not in Pine Bluffs though. I'm in Hillsdale, which is so small most people in this area don't even know where it is-lol Just a little west of Burns!

A friend of mine lives in or near Hyatville, is that anywhere near you?

For those of you that get yours at kangarooblue.com which ones do you like better the large or small? TIA Cindy/WI

I bought the large ones but i think the small one's are better for samples cause the large ones really hold alot.

Well you can cut the larger ones in half and get more for the money

I got mine at Kangaroo Blue....great service!

me too, great place.

Great idea, i was hoping this would happen soon.

yea i buy mine from brambleberry as well. I love that place.

I discovered i am totally incapable of designing labels of any kind. SO i hired this printer/designer to do it and they look fabulous.

what on earth kind of name is Bonnyshop Retail Store? thats bizarre. :rolleyes2

Wow i need to hit my local hospital again. Thats incredible news for you. :highfive:

I agree that you have handled it very well. :highfive:
